This is caused by a bug in the remove scripts of some of the old
packages. Running "update-alternatives --auto ghc" as root should fix
it.

/usr/bin/ghc etc. links don't work "out of the box". It looks like your 
post-install script needs to call update-alternatives on the four links.

Debian packages are now in the archive for unstable; just "apt-get
update" and "apt-get install ghc6 ghc6-prof ghc6-doc". There are also
ghc6-hopengl, ghc6-threaded-rts and ghc6-libsrc packages. It should

Stable packages are available from Isaac's "Haskell Experimental"
repository. To use them, add
deb http://www.syntaxpolice.org/haskell-experimental/ stable/
to your /etc/apt/sources.list and install as above.


Thanks

GHC 6.0.1 is now in the OpenBSD ports tree as lang/ghc, 
for x86 only at the moment.

Make sure your ports tree is up to date, and, e.g.:
cd /usr/ports/lang/ghc && make install.

Cheers,
Don

Thanks :)

I just uploaded a ghc-6.0.1-1 rpm package for Linux/i386 to

http://haskell.org/~petersen/rpms/ghc/

built with ghc-6.0 and linked against glibc 2.3.

Please let me know if you have any problems with this package.

Cheers, Jens

ANNOUNCE: GHC version 6.0.1

2003-07-30 Thread Simon Marlow

   =
The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 6.0.1
   =

We are pleased to announce a new patchlevel release of the Glasgow
Haskell Compiler (GHC), version 6.0.1.

This is a bug-fix release relative to 6.0.  The most important bugfixes
are:

   * Fixes to make GHC work with GCC 3.3

   * Fix for the "GHC deletes source files" bug

   * :cd now unloads any loaded modules in GHCi.

   * -mk-dll should work better on Windows.

in addition to various other bugfixes.

The release notes lists the changes in the 6.0 line relative to 5.04:

 
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/release-6-0.html


How to get it
~
The easy way is to go to the WWW page, which should be self-explanatory:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/

We supply binary builds in the native package format for various
flavours of Linux and BSD, and in Windows Installer (MSI) form
for Windows folks.  Binary builds for other platforms are available
as a .tar.gz which can be installed wherever you want.  The source
distribution is also available from the same place.

Packages will appear as they are built - if the package for your
system isn't available yet, please try again later.

Background
~~
Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language; the
current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998, and
revised in December 2002.

GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell.  Included is
an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of
platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick
development.  The distribution includes space and time profiling
facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various
language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign
language interfaces (C, whatever).  GHC is distributed under a
BSD-style open source license.

A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries,
specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references,
contact information, links to research groups) are available from the
Haskell home page (see below).


On-line GHC-related resources
~~

Relevant URLs on the World-Wide Web:

GHC home page http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
Haskell home page http://www.haskell.org/
comp.lang.functional FAQ  http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/faq.html



System requirements
~~~
To compile programs with GHC, you need a machine with 64+MB memory, GCC
and perl. This release is known to work on the following platforms:

  * i386-unknown-{linux,*bsd,mingw32}
  * sparc-sun-solaris2
  * alpha-dec-osf3
  * powerpc-apple-darwin (Mac OS X)

Ports to the following platforms should be relatively easy (for a
wunderhacker), but haven't been tested due to lack of time/hardware:

  * hppa1.1-hp-hpux{9,10}
  * i386-unknown-solaris2
  * mips-sgi-irix{5,6}
  * {rs6000,powerpc}-ibm-aix

The builder's guide on the web site gives a complete run-down of what
ports work; it can be found at
